Inclination and acceleration sensors are used to determine an object’s vibration, inclination, tilt and acceleration with regards to gravity.
Whether leveling cranes, monitoring front-loader tilt, or controlling elevators—there are many applications for Pepperl+Fuchs’ inclination and acceleration sensors. They ensure precise measurements, even in harsh conditions. An innovative, two-piece mounting concept makes the F99 series extremely robust: a rugged metal mounting bracket provides the sensor module with impact protection and enables quick and easy replacement of the sensor module if needed. Once installed, the bracket can stay in place without need for new adjustment or calibration. With its corrosion-resistant aluminum housing, the one-piece F199 inclination sensor is just as robust and measures inclination from 0 to 360° with ±0.15° accuracy. Choose from a wide range of inclination and acceleration sensors from our product list for a quality, high performing and accurate sensor to help you with your desired application.
Our inclination and acceleration sensor portfolio are designed to meet each of your needs.
Pepperl+Fuchs static inclination sensors reliably detect inclination angles in factory automation and mobile equipment applications. They are an ideal solution for leveling mobile work platforms, for instance. The sensor continuously monitors the platform’s incline and indicates when readjustment is necessary.
In addition to static inclination sensors, Pepperl+Fuchs offers dynamic inclination sensors. The IMU F99 inertial measurement unit has been specially developed for inclination and acceleration detection in dynamic applications. It provides 360° measurement along three axes. An intelligent Sensor Fusion Algorithm compensates for external acceleration and opens up new possibilities.
F99 series acceleration sensors monitor strong vibration and acceleration in plants. This makes them an ideal solution for monitoring a wind turbine installation. When a set mechanical vibration limit is exceeded, the system shuts off to avoid damage.
